Ultra Low-Dose CT

Medscan Barangaroo is proud to announce the installation of the Somatom DRIVE, the first of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere and Australia. This is Siemens latest premium CT just released at ECR 2016.

The DRIVE can image any size patient at the lowest possible radiation dose, in the fastest time with exquisite image detail.

DEXA – Bone Density

Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), also known as bone density scanning or bone densitometry, is an X-ray that measures bone mineral density (BMD) and evaluates bone strength and the risk of breakages and fractures. If the scan indicates that density is high, it generally means that the risk of fracture is low.

Mammography

A mammogram is a low-dose x-ray of the breast; Mammograms are performed for two major reasons. First, in women with breast symptoms, to detect a possible cause for their symptoms (a diagnostic mammogram), and secondly, to detect early signs of breast cancer in women who do not have breast symptoms (a screening mammogram). The x-ray dose from a mammogram is very low. It has not been proven to cause any harmful effects.
